What is a fork?
A fork is a single move that attacks two or more enemy targets at the same time, so the defender can only save one of them. Knights are the classic forking piece because their jump can touch a king, queen and rook at once, but every piece — even the king and pawns — can fork.
How to spot it
Look for enemy pieces standing on the same color complex a knight can reach, on shared diagonals for a bishop or queen, or on the same rank or file for a rook. Loose, undefended pieces are the raw material of every fork.
What this set trains
Fork puzzles build the habit of scanning for undefended targets before every move — the single most common winning pattern in club chess.
